I get this error when trying to install and run on a Debian 9 VPS:

Are you running the set up script first as per the docs? Is the server running that you're trying to connect the client to? Have you tried manually installing the module snowboy?

[GameboyRMH]

I followed the Debian/Ubuntu install instructions. The server wasn't running at the time, but I've tried again with the server running and had the same result. The server works with the Android client. I also tried "npm install --save snowboy" and had the same result afterward, not sure if there are other steps I need to take though.

Okay i’ll investigate on monday, this client needs a re-write as it hasn’t been updated in a while. Kind Regards, Patrick Quinn.
